Now therefore in the sight of all Israel. — Literally, And now to the eyes of all Israel... and in the ears of our God; scil. I adjure you. David ends his address to the people by a solemn appeal, like that, of Moses (Deuteronomy 4:26; Deuteronomy 30:19 : “I call heaven and earth to witness,” &c.). David’s appeal is to the whole nation as represented before him, and to the God whose ear is ever open.
Seek — i.e., do not neglect; resort to them always as the rule of right living (same word as 1 Chronicles 13:3; 1 Chronicles 15:13).
That ye may possess this (Heb. the) good land. — Another reminiscence of Deuteronomy (1 Chronicles 4:1; 1 Chronicles 4:21).
And leave it for an inheritance. — Leviticus 25:46.
